Wired reports on UB research to create a deep-sea Internet

An article on Wired reports a group of UB researchers are
working on the development of a deep-sea Internet, which could lead
to improvements in tsunami detection, offshore oil and natural gas
exploration, surveillance, pollution monitoring and other
activities. The article quotes Tommaso Melodia, associate professor
of electrical engineering and the project’s lead researcher.
“A submerged wireless network will give us an unprecedented
ability to collect and analyze data from our oceans in real
time,” he said. Articles also appeared on BBC News,
